Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.1.1-4 Severity: normal The brightness control keys on my Thinkpad R60 stopped working in X some time ago. I have probably upgraded both kernel and X.org since then, and don't know exactly when it broke.
Pressing the keys in an X session now only causes a short flicker, but does not affect the brightness. However the KDE on-screen display seems to think everything is fine since I can control the level it reports. The brightness keys still work in a virtual console, just not in X. "xbacklight -set" changes the brightness in a totally random way. For example p=98 is barely visible, and most other settings give a constant medium-bright level. I can control the brightness at least reasonably well with echo 50 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video1/brightness except that levels below 30 don't seem to have any effect. Also I can do echo up > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness or echo down > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness I have an unpatched kernel 2.6.23 (Linus' git tree) with thinkpad-acpi 0.16, hal 0.5.9.1-6, acpid 1.0.4-7.1. The problem matches this description [1] which points to a fix in Ubuntu.
